More Variations
Sitemap URL checker for index coverage cleanup
Use this when Search Console reports sitemap, duplicate, redirect, or discovered-not-indexed issues. It turns the sitemap into a quick URL-quality report before you resubmit.
Better sitemap inputs for the on-page workflow
After using the On-Page SEO Checker and Robots.txt Checker, run this sitemap checker so the final canonical URL is discoverable, crawlable, and not mixed with duplicate or parameter variants.
Live sample checks without a full crawler
The checker can test a small live sample for status problems. For very large sites, pair the CSV output with a full crawl, but keep the sitemap itself focused on canonical URLs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What URLs should be in a sitemap?▾
Use canonical, indexable, useful URLs that return a clean response. Avoid redirects, noindex pages, duplicate URLs, search results, and low-value parameter pages when possible.
Does a sitemap guarantee indexing?▾
No. A sitemap helps discovery, but search engines still decide whether each URL deserves crawling and indexing.
Can this checker fetch a live sitemap?▾
Yes. Enter a public sitemap XML URL and the checker fetches it, or paste XML, a sitemap index, or a plain URL list manually.
How many URLs can one sitemap include?▾
A standard sitemap file should stay under 50,000 URLs. Larger sites should split URLs across multiple sitemap files and use a sitemap index.
Should sitemap URLs all use the same host?▾
Usually yes for one verified property. Mixed hosts, www and non-www variants, or HTTP and HTTPS variants can create confusing discovery signals.
